Water cooling portion of upcoming build.

Hey I'm going to college next year for engineering so the computer would have to run any programs that they say we will use mostly 3d design stuff as well as do some gaming. This is what I got thus far http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Xn3qrH I will only be building this pc later in the year so I'm hoping ddr4 will be cheaper and maxwell cards will be released I have a license of win 7 pro already but if windows 9 is any good and comes out before next september i'll most likly get that.

 

I reposted this from build planning to get the opinion on the kind people here about the water cooling portion of this build. Will it all fit and will it be adequate.

Wait for maxwell before you watercool the graphics card imo.

If you read the grey part at first it says i'l going to do that but everything else is pretty set.

I can't justify getting the 780 because I simply don't need it and with the six core i have enough processing power as well.

870/970 should be performance of a 780 so thats sorta a win.

Exactly my main concern was everything actually fitting.
